Our Greatest Team Parade

Pictures here from the Our Greatest Team Parade as they came past Trafalgar Square.

 

The event saw over 800 Olympians and Paralympians on 21 floats pass through the streets of London, on which up to one million people had gathered. Following the parade, the floats would go down The Mall to a ceremony at the Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace.

 

The culmination of the celebrations saw a flypast from the British Airways Airbus A319 in a special livery called 'Firefly' which brought the Olympic Flame to Britain, along with RAF helicopters, Eurofighter Typhoons, E-3D AWACS aircraft and the Red Arrows.
